Surgery of the Cerebellopontine AngleSurgery of the Cerebellopontine Angle is a single volume text which is designed to provide a detailed exposition of the treatment options regarding lesions occurring in this region of the skull base. The text will detail the various approaches to the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and discuss treatment options for CPA lesions. Neurologists and Radiologists may also be interested in this text, as well as rehabilitation physicians and technologist involved in the monitoring techniques used during temporal bone and CPA surgery. Detailed discussion regarding radiosurgucal treatment options will be included and will be of benefit to radiation oncologists. The text will also include detailed anatomical descriptions and photographs which will appeal to anatomists and medical students. The inclusion of an interactive atlas adds to the importance of the text and complements it, and also obviates the need to reference multiple sources. This allows the project to stand out from its competitors and broadens its appeal. |
